Chapter 692: Exploring the Forbidden Land
A few days later, Sun Yi brought Han Xu and Chu Ziyan to a hidden mountain stream.
This place is already a forbidden area of the Hidden Gate. Normally, no one would come here. Even if someone accidentally enters the forbidden area, it is impossible to get here through the many formations.
After Han Xu came all the way here, he was still in shock. When he passed through the many spiritual formations just now, if it weren't for Sun Yi leading the way, even he would not dare to guarantee that he could escape unscathed.
There are countless killing formations, trapping formations, and illusion formations, which are superimposed or connected to each other. Even after so many years in this world with exhausted spiritual energy, these spiritual formations are still as powerful as before. Han Xu is almost certain that at least six layers of the foundation accumulated by the Hidden Gate over the years have been consumed to maintain the normal operation of these spiritual formations.
When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is sufficient, the spiritual formations can rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to operate, and in the extreme case of exhaustion of spiritual energy, these spiritual formations will consume the foundation accumulated by the Hidden Gate.
In this way, it can be ensured that the dirty spring will be safe under any circumstances.
"Under this mountain stream is the dirty spring." Sun Yi said, and she took Han Xu and Chu Ziyan to the edge of the cliff.
Han Xu looked down and could only see the rolling black fog. In these black fogs, there was an extremely uncomfortable power, as if there were demonic sounds in the heart, trying to awaken the dark desires hidden in the deepest part of the heart.
Fortunately, Han Xu and the other two were all above the realm of creation, with firm minds, and they would not be affected by the dirty spring in a short period of time.
However, after really coming here, Han Xu realized why the dirty spring had the power to destroy the world. The breath in the dirty spring could directly control people's hearts and arouse the evil thoughts in everyone's heart.
There is no perfect person in this world. Everyone lives in evil in their hearts, more or less. If the dirty spring erupts, there will be a day when everyone in this world will act according to the evil in their hearts, and that will be the beginning of the destruction of the world.
Han Xu said to Chu Ziyan: "You and Aunt Sun stay here, I'll go down to check the situation."
"I am the leader of the Hidden Sect after all, how can I let you go alone? I'll go with you."
"Okay." Han Xu did not stop Chu Ziyan. After all, the Hidden Sect was responsible for guarding the Dirty Spring, and the people who were now soaking in the Dirty Spring were Chu Ziyan's great grandfather and several elders. If Chu Ziyan went down with him, if there was an emergency, it might be possible to reduce a lot of trouble.
Moreover, the state of the Dirty Spring was relatively stable at this time. As long as he was careful, Chu Ziyan would not be affected much.
"You two should be careful. If there is anything wrong, come up immediately. Got it?" Sun Yi said with a little worry. Although she also wanted to go down with Chu Ziyan, she also knew her own limitations and did not want to hold them back.
Although Sun Yi was also a master of the Creation Realm, she had an old injury that had not healed. After so many years, her foundation had been damaged. Han Xu was still thinking about the most appropriate treatment to help Sun Yi recover.
Han Xu handed Chu Ziyan a pill and said, "Take it before you go. Don't always say I'm stingy. After taking this pill, you will be almost immune to all poisons."
Chu Ziyan was about to be happy, and Han Xu added, "Of course, it's only temporary. The effect of the medicine will only last for three to five days at most."
Chu Ziyan was helpless, but he still took the pill. Then the two of them released their true energy to protect their bodies and jumped down.
Soon, their figures were swallowed up by the surging black fog.
In the black fog, almost nothing can be seen. Even with the eyesight of Han Xu and Chu Ziyan, it is still difficult to see clearly. At this time, a light flashed in Chu Ziyan's hand. He took out two glowing spherical spiritual treasures and gave one to Han Xu.
】
The light of this spiritual treasure is different from other lights. Other lights cannot penetrate the black fog beyond three meters, but the light emitted by this spiritual treasure can illuminate a range of 100 meters.
"There are quite a few good things." Han Xu said after taking the spiritual treasure.
"He is a sect master after all."
For the sake of caution, the two did not descend quickly. After about half an hour, they landed on the ground. There was only one cave entrance on the four cliffs below the mountain stream. All the black fog came out of this cave entrance.
Han Xu looked at the cave entrance, as if he was looking at a prehistoric beast with a bloody mouth ready to swallow them alive.
Images kept appearing in his mind, and it felt like the black fog had become smelly.
After entering the cave entrance, Han Xu immediately found that the power that affected people's hearts was stronger, and he could even create some illusions in his mind.
"Be careful, don't let your mind be taken away, otherwise I will definitely use the image jade to record your ugly appearance." Han Xu joked to Chu Ziyan.
"Don't worry, this level won't affect me." Chu Ziyan said confidently, "Let's go, I feel that my great grandfather and the others are in this cave."
What appeared in front of him were a series of forked roads, which were intricate and complicated, like an underground maze. Han Xu said to Chu Ziyan: "Use your Wuji Tianyan to take a look."
"Wuji Tianyan can't see through it either."
"Who asked you to see through it? Look at which road these black fogs are coming out of, which road should we take."
"You are still smart."
Han Xu just looked as if it was natural.
Chu Ziyan used the power of his bloodline, and his pupils changed. In fact, Han Xu could also use the Great Innate Visualization Method to determine the source of the black fog, but with Chu Ziyan as a tool, Han Xu thought that he was justified to be lazy.
It's impossible to do everything by yourself, so you should give Chu Ziyan, the leader of the Hidden Sect, a proper sense of participation.
"Brother, follow me." Chu Ziyan fulfilled his role as a tool man conscientiously and lived up to everyone's expectations. He soon found the right direction. The two walked all the way and soon came to the end of the cave.
There was a spring on the ground in front of them. There was black water in the spring. It was hard to imagine that this small spring was the dirty spring that could destroy the world.
There were spiritual arrays around the spring, and a series of seals and suppressive forces fell on the spring. But even so, so much black fog could still overflow from the spring. It is conceivable how terrible the power would be after this small spring erupted.
And right next to the spring, there were seven people sitting cross-legged. Strictly speaking, they were the bodies of seven people, because only three of them were still breathing, and the other four had completely lost their breath and just maintained the posture of meditation.
Han Xu's eyes fell on the old man in the front. This old man looked the most ordinary, but Han Xu instinctively felt a great crisis from him.
"The Supreme Master, Chu Yu."
At this time, Chu Ziyan's eyes were filled with grief and anger. He knew all seven people here, because they were all the most powerful masters of their Chu family. Except for Chu Yu, who was the most senior, the others were masters of Chu Ziyan's father's generation.
And four of these masters died here.
"Mourn." Han Xu said to Chu Ziyan in a voice transmission, "Next, you come to wake up Senior Chu Yu."
